When I got home from work, Ben already had dinner ready! Then we saw Maleficent at the Majestic Bay Theater in Ballard. Gonzalez and Gonzalez give it two thumbs up! (With our rented car, we left the apartment at 6:40, found parking and were sitting in the theater at 6:58! I still amazed at how that happened!)

I would have skipped the movie and just eaten savoured this chicken, slowly and surely. Thanks for sharing!

It was really good chicken. And I haven’t had chicken in a while. But since Ben doesn’t usually have the night off, and we usually don’t have a car, we decided at the last minute to go to the movie. It was a good diversion, but yeah, this chicken! I probably would have had seconds! Have a great weekend!!

Don’t you love it when things just fall into place like that? I can see Ben is a fabulous cook and I really love the contrast you two have within your blog. Sweet and Savory. Was Gonzalez and Gonzalez right?

Yup. Gonzalez and Gonzalez stands for me and Ben. I changed my name to Gonzalez after the wedding. So, “Gonzalez and Gonzalez” is a take on “Siskel and Ebert”. Remember that movie critics show?
